Q

What’s the impact of the Library for Marketing teams?

A

Currently, people aren’t using the content you’re making on Sharepoint and they’re going to market with the wrong / outdated information. Library solves this.

Q

On Tombstones, when it says ‘downloading image’, what is that?

Q

How long does it take to build out tombstones? Who does this?

A

We build out the tombstones with our in-house PS team. Timing depends on the project.

But to give an idea of time, one of our boutique IB clients wanted simple tombstones and this took a day or so. Whereas a bulge bracket IB wanted 5 different styles and advanced logic applied and this took a fair bit longer.

A

With the challenge at the front.

E.g., ‘Good question. So, currently your analysts spend hours manually building tombstones for every project. With UpSlide, this will be completely changed…’
